You don't say in which country you are located. I assume you want two SIM
cards with the same number, if so there are relatively few networks that
offer this, but here in the UK Vodafone do, but you lose a lot of
functionality and only one phone can receive calls at any one time,
although both can make calls.
Apart from systems like this, the general answer is no - the SIM card is
essentially the number, and hence your account. You cannot have two with
the same number. Also, with some (probably most) networks, the SIM card is
already pre-programmed with the number anyway.
